The 14-inch Aspire TimelineX 4820TG laptop is almost the same as the Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820T we reviewed -- Intel Core i3-330M 2.13-GHz processor, 3GB RAM, 320GB hard drive. However, the newer TimelineX 4820TG laptop comes with an ATI Radeon HD 5470 graphics -- better than the Aspire TimelineX 4820T's onboard Intel GMA HD graphics, similar to the Acer Aspire 5740G. Thereby, the Aspire TimelineX 4820TG is better for casual gaming than the Aspire TimelineX 4820T. The Aspire TimelineX 4820TG retails for a price of Rs. 42,700 (+ taxes) and comes with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

Things get a little interesting with a variant of the Aspire TimelineX 4820TG laptop, which packs in some muscle. It has a similar 14-inch screen, but includes improved internal hardware -- Intel Core i5-430M 2.26-GHz processor (with Intel Turbo Boost support), 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, and ATI Radeon HD 5650 graphics. This particular SKU of the Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG sells for a price of Rs. 48,900 (+ taxes) and comes with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

8 Hour Battery Life
Both the TimelineX 4820TG laptops claim a battery life of up to 8 hours, owing to Acer's PowerSmart battery optimizer which trumps Windows 7's default power modes. We will have to wait and see if the Aspire TimelineX 4820TG lives up to that battery claim; it will be remarkable if it does, seeing how the Aspire TimelineX 4820T lasted just under 7 hours.
